Happy Birthday Ashton!!!!!


Ashton, you are 5 years old! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We moved to Orem, two days before your birthday. It was just in time to have a pretty princess party with as much pink as possible. Complete with a dragon and a prince! I love you so much, you are my little ray of sunshine, happy, positive, friendly and a problem solver. You can always find a simple solution to get what you want. Love you soooo so much!
We had so many games for the kids to play, dragon egg hunt, princess pinata, princess, princess, queen/knight,knight king (duck duck goose), Royal Ball (musical chairs), we had them make necklaces as they came in to entertain the children as we were awaiting everyone's arrival.
Ashton loved walking around in her princess dress and crown and wand that my mom and Kristen had bought for her. Adrienne insisted she dress up like a dragon, rather than a princess (we had been watching Enchanted, a lot!) and Dan dressed up like a Prince (costumes compliments of my amazing party planning sister Kristen). Ashton loves birthdays so much, she gets so excited hearing about others' birthdays and planning her own. It was hard to not get carried away planning hers. My sister is an expert at planning parties, making them a blast, down to every last detail. She helped me immensely with this one and in years past. I enjoyed myself so much I was thinking I should have a princess party for my birthday and make all my friends dress up in ball gowns too.
